I’m passionate about…

Through my work and personal living experiences, I have developed a passion for housing accessibility and renters’ rights, particularly that of people in marginalised communities who have a harder time finding secure and safe housing. I strongly believe housing is a human right and should not be viewed as a privilege. I want to do what I can to dismantle the colonial structures and social biases that contribute to homelessness and leave over 122,000 people stranded on any given night in Australia, so people’s well-being is prioritised over property profitability.

My experience

I have held a variety of paid and volunteer communications and events roles since finishing high school. My journey began while completing a Bachelor of Arts, as a community radio presenter and producer at JOY 94.9, helping amplify voices of LGBTQ+ youth with a diverse mix of co-hosts and guests. Fast-forward to 2021, I learned about RAHU (Renters and Housing Union) and joined the fight for renters’ rights by organising within the media team, and participating in my branch’s actions to educate and empower renters dealing with unfair living conditions.

Career-wise, I’ve worked in the marketing and events space, with roles in B2B Marketing, music and comedy, and a range of arts festivals.
